Nice View... But Food? Just OK 9/22/2011

The Marine Room is beautiful. The service is amazing. Our window table was all we imagined it would be. (last night) But let's be real....... The food was "just okay" & way over priced for what it was. And my opinion does come with some experience in the kitchen. I mean it was good food; very pretty. But it was no better than 100 other restaurants around town. I've had the same yummy Merlot in DelMar, along with fabulous food & a better sunset, for almost half the price. My salad last night, had a fancy name, but it was just greens, with a bite of fruit, a crouton & a sliver of cheese. Some of the greens absorbed the vinegarette, which made them a bit soggy. But the vinegarette was one of the best I've tasted, so..... The ugly brown sauce my pork cheek & scallops were sitting in, had a strange smell & no taste, and added nothing to the dish. The deserts we had were awesome.... Yeah for that! I do get it, why people want to eat here. And why they want people to know they ate here. But it has nothing to do with the food being superior. What ever makes you happy; go for it. All in all, I'm so thankful we can now cross the Marine Room off our list. Bon Appetit! more

The best oceanview in San Diego 9/27/2010

It doesn't get any better than this oceanview unless you go sit on the beach. This restaurant goes right out onto the sand and the waves actually crash up against it. You can't get any closer than that! Their food and drinks are delicious and I recommend them especially if you have a significant other. more

Corkage Fee 9/18/2009

One of my pet peeves around the industry is when a restaurant has a short promotion and then tries to use it as advertising forever. The Marine Room had a $0 corkage fee for, as best as I can tell, under a year and now it is back to $25 per bottle. Since they haven't corrected any of their online ads, people should be aware. Cons: Corkage Fee is Back more

Great food, view, wine. 11/1/2008

I've eaten here maybe half a dozen times. Here are the constants: Great food, great view, great wine. We've gone for holidays twice for the prix fixe menus which have all been excellent. We've been lucky to get a table by the window everytime despite it being packed. Highly recommended. Pros: Food, wine, special menus Cons: Staring enviously at the people who got the good tables more

Very expensive for average food. Paying mostly for the view. 8/13/2006

We went there on a weekend which was very busy. We waited an hour to get our table even though we had reservations for a specific time. Almost everyone there were waiting that long to be seated. The worst was the hostess who could care less about the wait and was extremely rude and nonchalant. For such an expensive and high end restaurant, we were surprised by her attitude and service. When asked to speak with the manager though, he was very pleasant and tried to make up for the wait. Our waiter was also very kind and thoughtful. The food was very average, definately not worth the amount it cost but the view is very nice, especially if you have a window table, which is also very hard to get. Pros: Service. Ambience. more

Elegant Dining on the Surf

Editorial

  • The Scene
    Perched out beyond the sand line on La Jolla Shores, waves often splash against the floor-to-ceiling dining room windows, which are the only thing separating you from the ocean at this classy, coastal establishment. It's won nearly ever local and culinary award in the book--from service to best chef--and it's all for good reason. This quiet, romantic destination defines San Diego's fine dining scene.

    The Food
    Nearly every dish that lands on the table is overwhelming, considering the view in the backdrop, but a few standout starters include roasted forest mushrooms with 20-year-old Ambroshante sherry, the Maine lobster bisque and the classic Caesar salad prepared fresh for two tableside. For the main course, fennel-butter basted lobster tail melts away and fresh, flavorful fishes like Alaskan halibut or macadamia-coated organic salmon will not disappoint the most discerning seafood connoisseur.
